3klooripropeeni

3-klooripropeeni, also known as allyl chloride, is an organochlorine compound with the chemical formula C3H5Cl. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. 3-klooripropeeni is highly flammable and volatile.

This compound is an important industrial intermediate. It is primarily used in the production of other chemicals, most notably epichlorohydrin, which is a key component in epoxy resins. It also finds applications in the synthesis of allyl alcohol, glycerol, and various agricultural chemicals.

3-klooripropeeni is manufactured through the high-temperature chlorination of propylene. The reaction involves substituting a hydrogen atom on the methyl group of propylene with a chlorine atom.

Due to its reactive nature, 3-klooripropeeni is considered a hazardous substance. It is toxic if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. It is also a strong irritant to the eyes and skin. Proper handling procedures and protective equipment are necessary when working with this chemical. Environmental regulations govern its release and disposal to prevent contamination.
